The wildflowers can be spectacular in the high alpine.

 

The Erie Mine, perched high above the Root Glacier, will give
you fantastic views of the Stairway Icefall.

Our Castle Mountain hike takes you to the base of this
magnificent limestone massif.

The sun is a little sweeter in the high alpine of Alaska.

Our guides will explain the history behind the wonderfully
dilapidated Jumbo bunkhouse.

High fives at the base of Castle Rock and the leaning bunkhouse of Jumbo.

If you catch the season, bountiful Alaskan wild berries can be found.

Fantastic “aerial” views of the Stairway Icefall can be had from Bonanza
Ridge. Over a mile high, it is one of the tallest icefalls in the world.

Most hikes see, or sometimes cross, rock glaciers. Just as a glacier
is mostly ice with a little bit of rock; rock glaciers are mostly rock,
with ice cementing the rocks together, and flow similarly to ice glaciers.

Fall colors come into the tundra around mid-August.
